Does the thought of death scare you?

Question

HawkPerception · Accepted Answer

I think the majority of people who say no are lying. Or they're trying hard to convince themselves. No one knows for sure what happens after you die. And we all fear the unknown. It's the same for people in the past. They assumed sea creatures like whales and giant squids were sea monsters because they didn't know what they were. It's the same reason people thought when there was lightning or volcano eruptions, it meant the gods were angry with them. Because they didn't know what they were.

So I will say yes. I am scared to die. Especially now, when I haven't achieved any of my goals or done the things I want to in life.

Not in the slightest. It's just so foolish.  Does the thought of before you were born scare you?  Aging poorly & infirmity is terrifying, not death.

Everyone is scared of death had you ever heard of "there are no atheists in foxholes"? Everyone that says no is because they never felt real pain and danger before. The only ones that seem to be less scared of death are those that survived it before.

OneViewpoint · Answer

No. I've lived my life literally like there is no tomorrow with no restraint. Inside and outside the normal moral constraints. I should have died at least a hundred times at this point. I understand what life is and I appreciate it. But if I die today, I know I've packed more into my years of existence thus far than 99% of people will ever know. There won't be any tears of regret or begging for more.

Miristheiss · Answer

No.

The act of dying? Something destroying my body? Some forms of death are terrifying, burning to death or something slow and torturous are scary.

Something quick or growing old, not scary.

Leaving my body is not scary but how I leave, what I may feel or experience could be terrifying.

Curiousbenjamin90 · Answer

Sometimes, sometimes not. Less often but more real as I get into midlife and try to come to terms with it. I try and think about death at some point every day in a curious way, not an anxious way. No one knows what’s next (no matter what they tell you)

DeeDeeDeVour · Answer

The possibility of dying early worries me.  I'm still "young" and intend to accomplish so many more things even at a ripe old age.

AvaRay · Answer

No, death doesn’t scare me..

What truly scares me is wasting life, living small, unloved, or untrue to myself..

Death is inevitable, but regret is optional..

So I’d rather meet the end with peace than live forever in fear..

BCRanger10 · Answer

Every now and then, somewhat. I'm more worried about what happens with my soul afterwards, and with my family. It's also humbling to know that at this point, I have lived through the date of my death at least 38 times already.

CupcakeTheDestroyer · Answer

Of course the idea that I cease to exist as I do now is a scary thought, but at the same time it’s inevitable and I know once it’s over, I won’t care that I’m dead so it’s okay.

aaron13547 · Answer

No I don't know what I was doing before I was born, yet I am still here. So I don't believe I need to worry about what happens after I die...

RandomGirl42 · Answer

No. 💖

AviatorTom · Answer

Not at all. We all die... eventually. What sometimes scares us is not knowing when death will come.

exitseven · Answer

I have faced death before and i was not afraid. Now i have a lot more to lose and it makes me a little afraid.

Godihateyou · Answer

No. The promise of death gives every second meaning and value. Why did I waste 11 seconds on this question? The hope of waking people up. Delete this app. Stop wasting seconds. We dont have very many of them.

Agape93 · Answer

Nope, I'm very comfortable with that reality. I look forward to it.

Shiprex · Answer

Not in the slightest. The sadness affecting others, however, does make one be thoughtful of their well-being

bunnyboo24 · Answer

Not at all. It can come whenever it wants. Hopefully not now but whenever God wants me home

Spencer10 · Answer

Scare me? No. Make me curious and nervous? Yes.

Staximus · Answer

The thought of death should scare anybody unless they're a fucking nut, but worrying about what happens after is useless

AngryCarl2 · Answer

I'm not scared of death. What really scares me is not being able to eat solid food or get out of bed.

Alex-Snow · Answer

Scare me... no but I'd like to avoid it for a while

beefcakebradybatson · Answer

Yes, if I (perish the thought !!!) were clubbing a fat broad and she rolled over on me and crushed me !!!

DavyJ · Answer

No: you can’t control or delay it. When it’s your time, your on the one-way train to Expiration Central.

RedInnocent69 · Answer
